As promised, the featured image of Bridge 61 at Foxton Locks. Trip boat Vagabond moors below the locks at bridge 61 outside the shop. The Foxton Locks Inn left of picture looks a welcoming sight for the weary tourists and boaters.

Narrowboat Classix Featured

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

My most recent image on site here – Narrowboat Classix – Foxton, has been given a featured spot with the Victorian Viewfinders group at redbubble. I have also had the fortune for another image, captured on the very same day to have been given featured image status with the Stream Crossings group.

These images which were captured on Wednesday of last week are two of a total of three images which I deemed of decent enough quality and interest out of some 50 odd images taken on the day. The other featured image is a study of Bridge 61 with the trip boat Vagabond. I shall endeavour to post the image here later today.

Narrowboat Classix

Narrowboat Classix passing through Foxton. Having negotiated the rise up the Foxton staircase, narrowboat Classix passes ‘Oomaroo’, ‘Celia’, and a canal time hire boat on its way towards Crick.

This image taken from under bridge 60 gave a problem by constantly overexposing the sky. After several attempts and altering the exposure significantly, I eventually ended up with a reasonable shot with which to work from.
